Ba Re E Ne Re Literary Arts

ba re e ne re is an organization intended to enrich the lives of the basotho people by promoting initiatives that support increased literacy, encourage creative writing and aid artistic exchange between creatives in lesotho, basotho outside of lesotho and creatives from other cultures. through these connections, basotho writers are able to share the unique stories lesotho has to offer with local and international audiences. translated from sesotho language, the words “ba re e ne re” mean “they say it was said that…” this phrase is a basotho equivalent of “once upon a time…” and is how many sesotho folktales begin.
